A sweet Amish lady at the market shared her trick for these

Easy Oven-Roasted “Papap” Potatoes 🥔

Ingredients

• 1½ lb (700 g) baby potatoes, halved
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan, optional
• Fresh parsley, optional

Instructions

1. Preheat oven: Heat to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Season: Add potatoes to a bowl and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
3. Arrange: Spread potatoes in a single layer, cut-side down. Leave a little space between them.
4. Roast: Bake for 30–40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy outside and tender inside.
5. Finish: Sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley, if using. Serve hot.

Tip: For extra-crispy potatoes, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 15–20 minutes, then dry them very thoroughly before seasoning.
